I agree, but footballers aren't real smart, you can tell that by the way they play sometimes and what they do on the field. But you are right, 100%, they plead dumb and everyone feels sorry for them

Anyone else feel really empty inside knowing that there is no team lists coming out this afternoon?

I woke up in a bad mood this morning. Grumpy at everyone.
It feels better now that I know why.

Vatuvei granted medical leave of absence in wake of pill popping scandal.

Isn't there a Salary Cap Sale on this afternoon?

Get your blue and gold players at discounted price

What is Vatuvei doing.

Don't know if you guys saw his earlier instagram post but it looks like the guy is starting to lose the plot.

Legit hope the guy is OK. :/

So we see the Sharks kid banned for 12 weeks for taking recreational drugs but the Warriors boys are taking tramydol recreationally and probably something that could be a lot more damaging and some of them will only miss one game.

This Vatuvai situation is worrying & confusing. Why would he need to take a medical leave of absence. He looked fine, upbeat & happy at the end of the reserve grade game.

I take tramadol for my pain re arthritis/back problems. It doesn't give you any sort of high at all when you compare it to other narcotics. The only way it could is if you snort it but even then you wouldn't get a high.

That Instagram post was just weird, like disturbingly weird, like he is a paranoid narcissist.

Not saying u r wrong but I haven't read anything yet which confirms how long any of these guys will be stood down for. Have u seen something that suggests one or more will be back in first grade in round 10?

Also, I'm not that familiar with the Sharks players situation, but it sounds like he was doin illegal drugs?? If so, like it or not, it will be treated differently than substance abuse when the substance is legal. That's my guess anyway.

Exactly, you don't get the same feeling from Tramadol as you do from something like Codeine.

This. Isn't misusing prescription drugs just as illegal as using any other drug?

You can definitely get high off tramadol, PM Honeysett for instructions.

It's an opiate. a) depends how much you take and b) can effect different people in different ways.

I've seen my brother on it with a broken collarbone and I swear it didn't effect him at all.
I've seen a friend on it after again, a broken collarbone and the guy was asleep in the middle of a Black Caps vs India game at Eden Park, Indian drumming, music and chanting and all going on right next to us.

I've taken oxycodone and had the opposite effect to everyone else I've seen on it - most just completely relaxed and a bit out of it.

I was bouncing off the walls big time.

The idea of mixing tramy/valium/zopi with caffeine has been around for a while now and people seem to love it. No thanks.

Apparently three or more mixed with energy drinks will though.

NPD is the worst. Some of the people I hate the most are clear candidates. Took one of said characters to court.
We won and then the dipshit thought it would clever to wait out the front for us.
